  • tehcobra, on 08/22/2008, -1/+7It's dumbfounding that human eyes can even see this.
    Wish there was a better words to describe how beautiful something is.
    "Great!", "Amazing!", and "Fantastic!", aren't enough.
  • Baronvontito1, on 08/22/2008, -1/+5Man, space is so awesome. It'd be nice if I didn't die before we got to see it all up close.

  • gllopc, on 08/22/2008, -1/+4Man, I read it as "Beautiful Star Cruiser in the Tarantula Neubla". I was excited and terrified all at the same time.

  • 3leggedHorse, on 08/22/2008, -2/+3Amazing pic but I don't really see a Tarantula.
  • stevo9er, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Because our generation thinks activism is gay, hippy, worthless, etc. Better to lie down and be counted they say.
  • Whitey07, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Looks pretty awesome, space images always came great desktop wallpapers.
  • mstrebe, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1You'll never be able to get close to an exploding black hole man. Or to the center of a galaxy, or to lots of other in-hospitable places in the Universe. In space, it's location, location, location.

  • nofate2029, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0thanks NASA, keep showing us stuff that we'll never see up close in our lifetimes. still though, photos of deep-space is amazing, i've always been fascinated with whats "out there"
  • musntSurfatWork, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0I look at this wonderous marvel, and immediately begin to think to myself, why in the ***** do we let our leaders get away with this turmoil on earth?
  • GregFD3S, on 08/22/2008, -3/+2Kind of reminds me of the OS X Leopard Aurora wallpaper.
